I you do it, I promise I package it for Fedora :) Once upon a time, I did, just by using Zenity, a tool to add GUIs to Bash scripts done by a guy at Sun Microsystems, Glynn Foster https://help.gnome.org/users/zenity/2.91/index-info.html.en Such script worked with domain name registrations, and it stopped working the time the registrar changed its web page (it did a lot of ugly scrapping of html). But it only needed zenity, nothing else, and certainly not 100MB of crud installed. > All the best, abrazos, > Germán. In the end, German, it's a free world, and I'm free to complain if I think some software is not designed as it should. It might end up encourage others to "fix it", or design a better replacement. In fact, had livecd-creator been _statically linked_ and available on the LiveCD, I'd have just run 'livecd-creator' from a shell window and this thread would have never happened. In the end, German, do you know how I fixed it? here's the recipe, I used TUXBOOT, which transfers ISO images to pen drives with a friendly GUI, and doesn't need the same tons of deps as LiveCD-creator does. I got it from here. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tuxboot/old/tuxboot-linux-39-i686?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ftuxboot%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1368243790&use_mirror=ufpr Of couse, all weren't roses... it wants to be run as root, and Fedora by default does not run GUI apps as root. So I had to do 1. xhost SI:localuser:root and then install the p7zip-plugins package that it requires but is not on the F18 repos. 2. yum install ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/18/Everything/i386/os/Packages/p/p7zip-plugins-9.20.1-4.fc18.i686.rpm Finally, I had to run it with beesu. But it certainly didn't need 100MB of deps installed. As usual, just my $0.02 worth of opinion ;) FC -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
